Victoria Brigham has killed three men—and none of them were by choice.
Haunted by a wolf she cannot control and a past soaked in blood, Victoria lives quietly as a pet-finding investigator, hiding among werewolves who believe she is one of them.
But when her sister disappears, and a strange, spicy scent tied to blood magic and animals begins following her through the city, Victoria makes one mistake that changes everything—she follows it.
What she finds is slaughtered witches, weaponized wolves, a dying man’s curse, and an artifact that burns itself into her soul.
Death should have been the end.
Instead, it was only the beginning.

By the time I made it down the hill, I was bathed in sweat. The way looked so short from up there when it wasn't. It took me more than half an hour to reach the town, and when I did, I wished I had changed into some of the clothes at the house. They had holes in them and hadn't been washed in two decades, but I bet they wouldn't have made everyone there stare at me like I'd just come straight out of a nightmare. My shirt was cut in more places than I cared to count, as well as my jeans, and they were both covered in dried blood. Luckily, my skin was healed, and I wiped my face with my hands as well as I could before anybody saw me, so I figured I'd just lie my way out of it.
